Wyatt Miller is a fourth-generation racing driver who began his career in 2020. He recently stepped up to Late Models, winning in just his second Limited Late Model start at Hickory Motor Speedway, a track deeply tied to the Earnhardt family legacy. He followed it up by clinching his second victory in only his third start.

Miller recently made his debut in the Dirt Late Model scene, competing in a 604 Late Model at Natural Bridge Speedway, where he secured a fifth-place finish. The 13-year-old earned praise from his uncle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., for his strong start in the Limited Late Model races.

Following a house fire, the two children moved from their mother's rental to their father's lake house in 1981. Brenda, who later married William Jackson in 1985, worked at JR Motorsports for 15 years.
